[small voice in the wilderness]

Did you not read my post that told you that Enoch, Elijah, and Jesus Christ were all carried away, bodily? It’s hardly a new idea. How old is Enoch by now?

[Mad Dawg]

Not only did read it, but I read that to describe not only those events but the Ascension of Jesus you used the word "rapture."

This implied, without explanation or justification that the Ascension of Jesus was the same sort of thing as that of Enoch and Elijah. That, to me, is a new idea, which I won't take on just anybody's say-so. So I question the use of the word "rapture" for all three events.

Further, and this also is a question, is the notion of rapture all there is to dispensationalism? I think not. Therefore to refer to the antiquity of Enoch's being taken up does not in itself establish the antiquity of dispensationalism.

This may be "the same old tactics" but to me it just seems to be common sense.

Take your time in responding. The Ol' Mizris and I have a date.
